General Recommendations
Regular maintenance will improve the performance and
extend the life of the water pump. See any authorized Briggs
& Stratton dealer for service.
The water pump's warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain
water pump as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your water pump.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once
each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedule chart above.
NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the spark
plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
